他们的父母则忙着准备丰盛的年夜饭。
Their parents were busy preparing a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
客厅里,爆竹声声和孩子们的嬉闹为节日增添了不少活力。
In the living room, the sound of firecrackers and the children's playfulness added much vitality to the festivities.
但明的心情却有些沉重。
But Ming's mood was somewhat heavy.
他知道,这个春节能否顺利,不仅取决于美味的食物和温暖的家,更取决于家庭内部的不和谐能否被化解。
He knew that whether this Chunjie went smoothly depended not only on delicious food and a warm home but also on whether the internal discord could be resolved.
当大家聚集在餐桌旁时,起初气氛温馨。
When everyone gathered around the dining table, the atmosphere was warm at first.
突然,李在谈话中表现出不安,话锋也有些锋利。
Suddenly, Li seemed uneasy during the conversation, and his words became somewhat sharp.
明意识到争执不可避免。
Ming realized that a dispute was inevitable.
他放下筷子,在这热闹的环境中,轻轻地拍了拍李的肩膀,示意他到一旁谈谈。
He put down his chopsticks, gently patted Li's shoulder in this bustling environment, and motioned for him to talk aside.
在客厅的拐角,明深吸一口气,诚恳地对李说:“我们都是一家人,有什么问题,我们一起面对。
In the corner of the living room, Ming took a deep breath and sincerely said to Li, "We are all one family, and whatever problems we have, we face them together."
”李沉默片刻,随后表达了自己内心的压力和对家人理解的渴望。
Li was silent for a moment, then expressed his internal pressure and longing for family understanding.
听到这些,明感到心酸,但他意识到,与其责备,不如支持。
Hearing this, Ming felt a pang of sorrow, but he realized that support was better than blame.
经过一番深谈,两兄弟相拥而笑,误会终于化解。
After a deep conversation, the two brothers hugged and smiled, and the misunderstanding was finally resolved.
明渐渐放下了心中的重担,他学会了相信,家庭的纽带比他想象的要坚韧得多。
Ming gradually let go of the burden in his heart and learned to believe that the family bond was stronger than he had imagined.
当他们返回餐桌时,李感激地冲明点头,伟也鼓励地拍了拍李的肩膀。
When they returned to the dining table, Li gratefully nodded to Ming, and Wei encouragedly patted Li's shoulder.
整个家享受着团圆的喜悦。
The whole family enjoyed the joy of reunion.
窗外的雪依旧纷飞,但屋内的气氛却暖意融融。
The snow continued to fly outside the window, but the atmosphere inside was warm and harmonious.
新年的钟声敲响,全家共同举杯,祝愿来年平安幸福。
As the New Year bells rang, the whole family raised their glasses to wish for peace and happiness in the coming year.
这一刻,明知道,他不再需要独自承担让家庭团结的责任,因为他们是一家人,彼此的爱和理解足以支撑一切。
At this moment, Ming knew that he no longer needed to bear the responsibility of keeping the family united alone, because they were one family, and their love and understanding for each other were enough to sustain everything.
